Detailed explanation-1: -Venus spins on its axis in the opposite direction as most planets in the solar system, and it takes its time to rotate-one Venusian day lasts 243 Earth days. That is, if you’re measuring the planet’s rocky surface. Its atmosphere, however, moves about 60 times faster.

Detailed explanation-2: -The upper layer of troposphere exhibits a phenomenon of super-rotation, in which the atmosphere circles the planet in just four Earth days, much faster than the planet’s sidereal day of 243 days. The winds supporting super-rotation blow at a speed of 100 m/s (≈360 km/h or 220 mph) or more.

Detailed explanation-3: -Turbulent atmosphere speeds Venus’s days by a full 2 minutes In addition to making Venus notoriously inhospitable to rover missions, the planet’s thick atmosphere and the speed at which it moves may accelerate Venus’s rotation, Science News reports.

Detailed explanation-4: -Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide and it’s perpetually shrouded in thick, yellowish clouds of sulfuric acid that trap heat, causing a runaway greenhouse effect. It’s the hottest planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun.

Detailed explanation-5: -Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate one time, but its atmosphere circulates the planet every four days.
